Economic Information Introduction Houston-Galveston Galveston County has benefited from numerous local Area Council Region economic development efforts, both past and ongoing. The Texas City - La Marque area has an active Chamber of Commerce including an established Economic Develop- ment Committee with industrial prospecting and tourism as a focus. Tourism and recreation have traditionally been major attractions with summer recreation opportunities attracting millions of visitors to our beaches. However, numerous "off season" events have also been staged and promoted to generate year - round tourist attractions. Owing to the downturn in the oil and gas industries and the local economy in general, the Chamber of Commerce initiated a positive, well coordinated economic develop- ment effort by building on our strong industrial past. Industrial development remains a top priority for the Texas City - La Marque Chamber of Commerce. As a result, efforts have been made to identify appropriate sites for such de- velopment in terms of cost access, utilities, and land use regulation. Area Overview Galveston County is located along the upper Texas Gulf Coast just southeast of Harris County and the Houston metropolitan area. The county faces the Gulf of Mexico to the southeast and is bordered by Brazoria County to the southwest, Harris County to the northwest, and Chambers County to the northeast. The 13-county Houston-Galveston Area Council region is shown at right providing a relational perspective of the surrounding counties. A map of Texas is included on page 4, providing distances and direction to major cities. Cities located in Galveston County are shown on the jurisdictional boundary map on the facing page. The Coun- ty covers 399 square miles, 500 square miles including the waters of Galveston Bay, East and West Bays, and the Population Projections Since 2000 Gulf of Mexico. The City of Galveston, located on Galveston Island, is the County Seat.

The City of Galveston, the county seat, is also * Source: US Census Bureau the largest city with a 2000 population of 57,247. Texas City follows as the third largest city with a population at 41,521.

Transportation The Texas City-La Marque area is bisected by Interstate Highway 45 (see IH-45 in the maps below and on page 17), which provides convenient access to the Houston metropolitan area and to Houston Hobby and Intercontinental Airports. Approximately 20.6 million vehicles used IH 45 in 1994 carrying in and out of state visitors to local destinations (see TXDOT 2000 Houston District Traffic Map on page 17). In the area of transportation, Texas City-La Marque is served locally by two principle airports: Scholes Field on Galveston Island and Houston Gulf Airport in the League City area of North Galveston County. Commuter airlines do not currently operate at either airport, although two of the three runways at Scholes Field are in the 6,000 ft. range. Scholes Field is most important to the helicopter firms, which serve the offshore oil and gas industry. The Mainland is also served by three major state highways, which fan out from their inter- section, just North of Galveston Island also known as the Texas City "Y". They include:

 State Highway 3 (see SH3 in the maps below and on page 17) is parallel to and was the forerunner to IH-45  State Highway 6 (see SH6 in the maps below and on page 17) cuts across the western portion of the county, linking the Port of Galveston to numerous other highways and communities south and west of the Houston area  State Highway 146 (see SH146 in the maps below and on page 17) runs North from the Port of Galveston through the county's most industrialized areas, and on into Harris County to the Port of Houston and Interstate Highway 10.

Numerous other farm roads, state and US highways link the surrounding county's population centers. Considerable access is availa- ble from the industrialized areas east of IH 45 along Galveston Bay. In the Houston-Galveston region, Galveston County is second only to Harris in miles of urban highway maintained by the state. Within the Houston-Galveston region, Galveston County has the second high- est number of registered motor vehicles. The county's transportation network is geared toward the ports of Texas City and Galveston with numerous railroad and truck lines operating in these port areas. During 2000 a total of 1,565 ships and 8,036 barges carrying 67,335,291 net tons of cargo used the Texas City port facilities. In 2000, railroad handling totaled 39,931 cars; 17,668 loads in and 18,714 cars emptied from line hauled railroad cars. The Texas City Terminal had a record year in 1990 for tonnage handled loading an average 22 vessels per day. Texas City has the 3rd largest port in Texas in total tonnage, ranking behind Houston and Corpus Christi and 11th largest in the nation.

The Port of Texas City / Texas City Terminal Railway Company is the eighth largest port of 153 ports in the United States and the third largest in Texas with water borne tonnage exceeding 78 million net tons. The Texas City Terminal Railway Company provides an important land link to the port, handling over 25,000 car loads per year.

The Port of Texas City's success as a privately owned port has been aided by its shareholders, The Union Pacific Railroad and BNSF Railway railroads whose connections allow for expeditious interchange of their traffic. Port crews provide switching in the Texas City area, inside the Port and for all industries and busi- nesses requiring rail services. Connections with main lines are made daily by the switching terminal at two junctions within six miles of the main classification Port Of Texas City was founded in 1893 yard. located in Texas City (409) 945-4461 or 800-893-4412

Local Source: TANGER OUTLET The first ever joint venture between the country’s leaders in outlet development, Tanger Factory Outlets Center, Inc. and Simon Premium Outlets, have created the new Gateway to the Gulf Coast. Located on 55 acres along the heavily tourist driven Interstate 45South, the new 350,000 sq. ft. branded Tanger Outets is the premium shopping destination of the region. Taking its architectural aesthetics from both historic Texas City and the seaside community of Galveston, the new center is divided into four distinct districts where the shopper will meander through meticulously landscaped promenades, un- der trellis and bris soleil which converge in an open air center court aptly named Gulf Coast Promenade. This scenic focal point of the center is home to a stylish yet contemporary food court, which will provide climate-controlled indoor seating as well as outside dining under umbrellas along the water’s edge. Complimentary Wi-Fi is offered throughout the center. There are 90 leading brand name and designer outlet stores in Phase I. The Texas City-La Marque area is home for a wide array of retail, industry and service-oriented businesses. Everything from large department stores to specialty bou- tiques can be found. Shopping is plentiful!

Texas City's Buc-ee's is a "mega-store" and that's not using that term lightly. It's a sporting goods store, a Texas boutique, toy store, surf shop, deli, and miniature grocery store rolled into one building. Oh, and don't forget the Beaver Nuggets, those addictive sweet snacks.

Shopping Texas City & Historic 6th Street Sixth Street is lined with many historical commercial buildings dating from the early 1900's. The storied old buildings now house a host of shops, jewelry store, sports bar, antique shops, casual cafe, salon, and much more. Other shops and restaurants are lined up down Palmer Highway (the main thoroughfare in Texas City).

Shopping La Marque from Wal-Mart and Sam's Club to Mom & Pop Shops....You'll be pleasantly surprised at what great hidden treasures are right here in our backyard!
